Many find that the tastiest of Dutch food migrated from Indonesia - above all the rijsttafel, a gigantic at the-table smorgasbord of tasty ad spicy tidbits. But there is more, of course. Wonderful baked sweets - oliebollen, sort of like oversized doughnut holes dipped in powdered sugar. (My wife and I made a point of driving by a Dutch import shop over spring break to reflll our stock of mix or these). Stroopwafels, thin waffle cookies with butter-caramel filling. It may be sacrilegious to note this, but I'll point out that a slice of Gouda on brown sesame bread brings new meaning to a grilled cheese sandwish.
